Fast Simulation of Multilayered Anisotropic Carbon Fiber Composite Thin Layers Using the Embedded Thin Layer Model and Improved FDTD Suitable for High Performance Computing

Abstract

Shielding effectiveness (SE) of multilayered anisotropic carbon fiber composite (CFC) thin layers is investigated by using an embedded thin layer model based on the extended subgridding boundary condition (SGBC) technique in the improved finite-difference time domain (FDTD) schemes for high performance computing (HPC). The developed algorithm is validated by comparing the simulated results with those from the commercial software. The SE of an enclosure with multilayered anisotropic CFC skin is analyzed by the proposed method, which is often required for the design of various space platforms.
